president obama bounces from one battle ground state to another using ohio as his airline hub. he's using all the hot spots trying to rally his base and any undecided voters he thinks are left. governor romney is also racing against the clock, tweaking his argument. and in case you forgot, we've got more than two guys running on tuesday, tonight we'll break down all of the battles, particularly for congress and who will decide control of it and what the next president can get done. good evening from democracy plaza. it's saturday, november 3, 2012. this is a prime time edition of "the daily rundown." we're taking a look at how we got here. presidential elections that aren't close are actually odd. no republican has gotten more than 300 electoral votes since 1988. only four democrats in history have gotten more than 53% of the vote. bottom line, this is 1976 meets 2000 meets 2004. in other words, it's a very close race. so how did we get here? the president began this campaign weighed down by a troubled economy and still faces a jobless rate higher than any incumbent seeking re-

look at president obama's map here and look at the state of ohio. these are all the states, he's going to visit seven of them in the next three days. if you look at ohio, it looks like an airline hub for air force one. it's as if he's got to change planes before he goes to virginia or florida or iowa or wisconsin. you also see he's got mulple stops. they're going to take him to iowa and wisconsin. i'll explain that in a few minutes but it's all part of his midwest firewall. you look at mitt romney's schedule, also as busy. yes, you see two stops in ohio over the next three days. but look at this one here, lester, pennsylvania. that is -- it depends on who you talk to. some say it's an insurance policy for the romney campaign because they're worried they can't win ohio. others say it is him trying to get his 300 electoral votes, show that he's got momentum and show that he's got something in this race that could take him much farther than this narrow bath to 270. >> polls start closing at 7:00 on the east. tell me what you'll focus on. what will you
